Why cardiac surgery in Shanghai
The right surgical team matters more than anything. Shanghai's cardiothoracic teams handle complex cases in considerable volume: valve replacement and repair, minimally invasive small-incision bypass, robotic-assisted cardiac surgery and major vessel surgery are all routine.
Our role is to lay out team, timing and cost before you travel: strict pre-operative screening, a procedure chosen for your condition, and complete English discharge documents, handed over to your doctors when you return.

Questions you may have
Is heart surgery in Shanghai safe?
We coordinate only with licensed hospitals and qualified cardiothoracic teams. Complete risk assessment is performed by the treating team before surgery, and your safety comes first.
Does it always mean open-heart surgery?
Not necessarily. Depending on your condition, the team may choose conventional open-heart, minimally invasive small-incision or robotic-assisted approaches. The plan is confirmed with you before surgery.
What happens after I return home?
We hand your complete English medical records to your referring physician or cardiologist, coordinate follow-up recommendations, and ensure a smooth handover.
